"If she's willing to do this and I'm not, am I a bad person?" I cried right there. That's the feeling. I feel you completely. It's hard to let go, even when it seems clear we're casting our pearls before swine. Necessary Endings is helping; I'm reading through it. Also Divorce and Remarriage in the Church by David Instone-Brewer and The Lifesaving Divorce by Gretchen Baskerville (which covers the previous book and then some). To the caller, you're free to decide. You're not a bad person no matter what you do. If you stay, stay because you see objective signs of progress and because you choose to of your own free will. If you leave, know that no matter what anyone else thinks, you had every right Biblically and otherwise to protect your heart, that you gave your marriage everything and then some. And know no matter what you're not alone on this. It feels lonely and isolating, but you're not the only one. I feel your pain and have met many others who know it too. We're with you. God is with you. You are free and called to peace. "But the Lord says, “Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago. Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already-you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there." Isaiah 43:18-19 GNT
